HISTORY OF THE BLTSSFUL To-
BOGGAN

The following account of the intro
duction and progress OF tobogganing is
from that excellent magazine, Outing:
Tobogganing as an amusement was
commenced in Canada down natural
slopes upon the crust. At Quebec the
slide first used forty years or more ago was
the ice cones that are formed by the spray
under the Falls of Moptmorenci. These
cones rise during a cold winter TO a
height of nearly hundred and fifty feet,
and the impetus acquired by the toboggan
as it rushes down the smooth icy surface
carries it mile or more across the river.
At present every Canadian city has its
toboggan clubs with their deliberately
built and prepared slides-those of Mon
treal being we'll known to Americans. In
the United States, favored by climate
and proximity to Canada. Saratoga had
the pioneer club, orga nized in November,
1884, though tobogganing there on natur.
al slopes antedates this by several years
Their present three-track iced slide at
Glen Mitchell, with a length OF $500
feet and fall of 112 feet within the first
600 feet, is without an equal this side of
the line. The sport has developed 10 u
surprising manner during last year,
though the season as regards weather was
most unfsvorable. At st. Paul and Bur
lington successful winter carnivals ad-
vauced the sport. Slides were erected at
Albany. n. Y; Orange, N. j., and many
other places, notablyithrough the North.
west, and the pastime hitherto confined
to our northern neighbors sprang at once
into popularity. Tobogganing and snow
shoeing are worthy of all encouragement
Enjoyed in the open air they strengthen
and invigorate. Spend an evening. my
novice friend, in rushing down through
the frosty air, on the Illuminated icy
toboggan track, with the brisk walks up
the slide, the gay changing scenes and
sociality of ones companions How then
will you sleep, friend, and with what
renewed vigor will you rise next morn

The Milwaukee Sentinel: The pres
ant secretary of the government super.
wishing architect at Washington is man
named Thos d. Fister. He was educated
at the public expense in the naval
academy at Annapolis before the war.
He left the government service in 1861,
and, in violation of his oath of allegiance,
took up arms against the Union. He
now wears, a Washington correspondent
says, scarf pin which he boasts is a
piece of a Union soldiers skull, as a
momento of his achievement in fighting
against the country that is again sup
porting him at its expense.

SENATOR 81. A. COOPER, of Racine,
was chairman of the Republican caucus
at Madison, Thursday evening last, that
placed in nomination Senator Sawyer to
be bis own successor in the United States
Senate. In a speech occupying about
ten minutes, Senator Cooper fairly cleo
trifed his auditors with his eloquence,
thanking the caucus for the great COM
pliment paid him and melting out the
highest praise to the Republican party
saying THAT "the history of that party
is the history of nation saved
of a nation redeemed from slavery; OF
the best currency in the world; of high
credit, of an honest intention to pay the
public debt. The party has had some
bad men in its ranks, but it has never
advocated wrong principle. It does no
seek oblivion for its past" In eloquen
terms he compared Lincoln and Garfield
to Jefferson and Jackson and felt sur
that with General Sherman, Blaine
Gresham, Allison or Harrison the Repub
licans would march to glorious victor
in 1888.

Mr. FINERTY's Chicago Citizen, speak.
ingof the fact that eighty-one Democratic
members of the Massachusetts legislature
helped to re-elect United States Senator
Dawes, Republican, Instead of voting for
T. A. Collins the Democratic candidate,
remarks:
After this, what Irish American will be
silly enough to think that Knownothing
ism does not exist in the Democratic
party? Mr. Collins is fully as able a
man IS nr. Dawes. fIis only crime con.
sisted in beng of IRISH birth and OF

LARGE CROPS OF POTATOES.

At the Farmers Institute held in this
city on the 18th and 18th inst, B. B.
Olds. of Clinton Junction, an expert a:
potato-raising. said he had no particular
theory different from most farmers, only
he tried to do the business at every point
at just the right time He had rot tried
to originate new varieties, but kept
close watch of the new ones that Others
produced and gave some of them trial
on his own soil, so as to have the tested
varieties for his main crop. He prefers
to plant on clover sod, and yet planted
in rows that run both ways, but cultiva:-
ed before the potatoes were up. He does
not plant the seed ends, but cuts the
potato to leave two eyes. He digs with
the s'Common-Sense" digger, drawn by
two horses. He does not raise on scale
to justify the use of a more expensive
digger. He picks them up into bushel
boxes that tit the wagon-box in the
Terry style. He threw away the seed
end becauseit had not the vigor to mature
the plants it would start to growing, and
| the result was "small potatoes AS to
| the bugs, he did not do much at poisoning
them, though he sometimes gave them
arsenic and Paris green. When he used
arsenic he put one pound into from 300
to 500 gallons of water and sprinkled the
vines. He depended more on pushing
the growth of potatoes and having early
varieties than on killing bugs. He
worked that way, got all he could, and
the bugs took the rest. He planted
deeply and billed but slightly, still BIZ
hilled some. After cutting the seed be
